April in Paris...

The weather is amazingly hot at the moment in Paris, especially for mid April (+9° centigrade - 48 Fahrenheit - compared to an average month of April!). Terraces are packed at lunch time and people have started invading public fountains. Hence what I saw today at Le Louvre, where it was so hot that people were using the ponds around the pyramid as pools! Looks like summer, really (not that I complain...). I really hope it will remain like this until the PDP picnic!

I have not seen this ettiquette-less behaviour yet, but agree the weather is astounding. Yesterday was 24C and it is predicted to be that until after Easter - every day! I am off to the Bois de Vincennes today to walk beneath the trees.

LOL So funny. There, so warm and sunny, here, I woke up to 5 inches of snow this morning. Trade you! I would love to dip my white, white legs into the fountain. (And what's wrong with white legs? No worries about skin cancer! I read somewhere that Coco Chanel started this craze for the tan. She did a lot of good things, but I don't think that was one of them!)

The normal is 48 degrees F or that's what it is now? I don't think people need to dip their feet in water if it is only 48!! Either way, I love late April to late May in Paris....fights with October as the best weather as far as I am concerned....
